Have Hummingbirds made their way to you? Update 5/15/2013

I got an e-mail from a friend who lives in Wisconsin and she's seen humminbirds already. We've had those cute visitors for the past 4-5 years, but they aren't here yet. Where are you? ... Have they arrived?

Wow that is hot!! We had one show up on a very hot day (for us) and after he had flitted around for awhile stopped by the pond on a cool rock to rest for about 10 minutes. Of course I didn't have my camera with me but I got to watch him

Hi, Bobbiwoz---thought I'd post here about our hummingbirds--or lack thereof this year. I've seen ONE at my feeder. I've kept it clean with fresh syrup (i make my own) and it's in the same spot as last year I just don't know where they went!

OTOH, I have purple house finches galore! They must have decided that our trees are THE place to be. I've never seen this many in my yard before. I keep a shallow, large saucer of fresh water on my deck railing and they love to come sip and dip.

We make our own syrup too. Keep trying, they find their way to you soon! DH is on his way to buy a new feeder for us.

Thanks for posting your birding results!

Our purple coneflowers are thriving. They attract goldfinches once the seeds develop. I can't wait to see them.

I haven't been around to see what's feeding at our feeder, will keep an eye out and post!
